Philippines Open Up to VoIP

The National Telecommunications Commission of the Philippines has released an MoU that will allow entities that are not telcos (those with voice service franchises) to offer VoIP services. This is on the assumption that VoIP is a Value Added Service and therefore do not require a telecommunications franchise.

The final ruling is expected in the second half of the year.

The following is the original MoU:

Should be interesting to see how it turns out.
